Days 13 & 14

 Parliament House, Darwin

 Front of Parliament House.  People up here think it is a big joke

because of the size per population

 Mitchell Street, Darwin's main street.  Notice how busy it is.

 Feeding the fish at Aquascene.  Everyday when the tide

comes in the fish come in and can be fed by hand.

Just the commentator's stand at Aquascene.  You can

see on the left hand side of the picture the ramp where

 the fish come in to feed.

Well this is our last day in Darwin.  We had a very relaxing day yesterday and were going to leave today but we had to organise some personal business and because we wouldn't have phone reception we decided to stay the extra day.  After we sorted out our business we decided  to do the touristy thing in Darwin, as you can see by the photos.  The thing I like about Darwin is that it is such a quiet city.  As you can see by the photo of Mitchell St (taken at 1:15pm) how quiet it is. This is the time of the year to be here before the tourist season really starts.  It isn't  really that hot, although I have got a bit sunburnt on the shoulders. 

Tomorrow we leave Darwin but we have decided to take a different route and are now going straight down the centre through Alice Springs to Port Augusta and then heading East.  We have some business to attend to in NSW and then we will work our way back to Queensland up through NSW.  At least I will get to see more of Australia that I haven't seen before.  Going to be a long trip though.
